Party Questions & Answers
How long is each party?
2 hours.
What happens if we add an extra child at the last minute?
There is no guarantee that child will be able to take home the same plants or release insects, but we will try our best to have extra supplies and make sure she is included. But there is an additional $50 per child added due to cost of supplies and staff.
Why can’t I make my own themes and party combinations?
If you have an idea that you would like to suggest, please do. But certain options listed are incredibly fun but also incredibly time-consuming. So we usually have two main events, one usually longer than the other- like planting for Monarchs and releasing lady bugs. In between these two main events are usually shorter games, plantings, and events that allow kids to celebrate your child and the environment. If there is something you would like to do during the party, please inform us ahead of time so we can make sure there is time allotted.
Is food included?
No. But we have listed at the bottom of this page a list of nearby restaurants (including vegan), bakeries and pizza places that deliver. We suggest you bring some healthy snacks such as carrots, snap peas, mandarins, and other easy-to eat finger foods and drinks for the kids while they wait for the main meal and cake. There are also wonderful bakeries nearby if you would like to pick up cake or cupcakes from local places so you don’t have to schlep food very far.
Should we bring balloons?
We suggest a more environmentally friendly option of blowing bubbles. We will provide some bubble buckets for the kids to play with and chase.
Presents?
Park Slope has GREAT toy stores! You can stop in before or after the party. If you want to go REALLY local, we have several regular and some environmentally conscious toys you can buy from our own toy tent. But we need to know before you get there! And yes, we do take credit cards! There are also three wonderful local toy stores nearby:
Little Things www.facebook.com/Little-Things-Toy-Store-115737797878
Toy Space www.toyspaceny.com
Norman & Jules www.normanandjules.com/toys
Goody bags?
We provide goody plants for the kids to take home. Usually the kids choose these on their way out. They have a choice between small indoor or outdoor plants as well as seed packets.
Can other parents come?
YES! We love having more adults around! We just need to know how many are coming. Warning: We might put you to work! Also, adults don’t get goody plants.
